Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape storage case mounting device, and more particularly to a tape storage case mounting device configured to reduce the width of the device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In general, when a video tape recorder is inserted into a tape storage case (hereinafter referred to as a tape cassette) having a lid on the long side of a rectangle having long and short sides, the tape cassette is installed at a predetermined installation position. It has a tape storage case mounting device that opens the lid, and pulls out the magnetic tape from the mounted tape cassette to perform magnetic recording/reproduction.

This type of tape storage case installation device generally has a configuration in which the tape cassette is inserted into the device with the lid at the front, but since the tape cassette is inserted from the long side, the width of the front of the video tape recorder is It was difficult to make it smaller.

In view of this, the present applicant proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. Sho 60-13908 an i'-b storage housing mounting device configured to insert the tape cassette in the longitudinal direction with the short side of the tape cassette as the front.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the device proposed above, since the tape cassette is inserted from the short side, the width dimension of the video tape recorder can be reduced and miniaturization can be achieved, but there are six limitations to this. . There is also a demand for further reduction in the width dimension of the device.

As a device that meets the above-mentioned demand, a tape storage housing mounting device is being developed that is configured to insert the tape cassette from the short side in the longitudinal direction with the bottom surface of the tape cassette container.

However, if the lid is the bottom surface, the tape cassette must be inserted in a vertical position, and in that case, if the lid slides on the holder, the lid will bear the mm of the tape cassette, increasing the load during insertion. Not only will the insertion operation not be carried out smoothly, but the front surface of the lid may be damaged. Therefore, there is a demand for a tape cassette to be inserted smoothly without damaging the lid by preventing the lid from bearing the weight of the tape cassette when the tape cassette is inserted.

Further, when the tape cassette is inserted vertically as described above, there is a risk that the tape cassette may shift downward due to its own weight. In order to prevent such misalignment, it is possible to improve the dimensional accuracy of the tape cassette lid and the bottom surface of the holder, but due to variations in the molding of the lid and holder and warping of the lid, the lid and holder may It is difficult to maintain high dimensional accuracy. Therefore, the tape cassette is likely to be inserted with a downward shift, making it impossible to accurately mount the tape cassette at the specified mounting position. The quasi-hole may be misaligned.

Therefore, it is an object of the present applicant to provide a tape storage case mounting device that meets the above-mentioned demands.

Means and Effects for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a tape storage case having a lid on the long side of a rectangle having long sides and short sides, with the lid facing the bottom or the top, and the tape storage case is arranged in the longitudinal direction from the short side. The holder is inserted into the housing and moves to a predetermined mounting position, and the holder fits into a groove formed in the longitudinal direction of the tape storage housing to guide the insertion of the tape storage housing and to position the insertion position in the upper and lower directions of the tape storage housing. The tape cassette has a positioning member extending inside the holder so that the tape cassette can be inserted vertically from the short side, thereby reducing the width of the device.

In this way, the medium-heat bottle 5e on the long side of the holder 5 and the bottles 5f and 5Q on both short sides are connected by the levers 32a to 32d. Therefore, the levers 32a to 32d are rotated in conjunction with the movement of the holder 5, as will be described later, to maintain the side roots 5a of the holder 5 in a vertical state.
The displacement l of f and 5C1 is made the same.

Further, the bracket 10.11 is provided with torsion springs 35.36 that press the bottles 5f, 5Cl of the holder 5 in the direction of the arrow Y2, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. The bracket 9 is also provided with a motor switch 37 that opens when the protrusion 16d or 16e of the rotating arm 16 comes into contact with it.

Next, the operation of inserting and mounting the tape cassette 3 into the tape storage case mounting device 1 configured as described above will be explained.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lid 3b of the tape cassette 3
Press the tape cassette 3 into the insertion slot 2b in the direction of arrow x1, with the bottom surface being the bottom surface and the surface having the lid lock release button 3a on the short side being the front surface.

The tape cassette 3 is inserted into the holder 5 in a vertical state by opening the opening/closing lid 25 on the front side thereof.

As described above, the tape cassette 3 inserted into the holder 5 has the guide rail 7 completely inserted into the tape cassette 3 3c.

Further, the tape cassette 3 is guided by the guide rail, and the groove 30 is fitted into the guide rail 8 provided at the inner part. The guide rail 7.8 supports the tape cassette 3 by abutting against the upper inner wall of the 3C. Therefore, the tape cassette 3 is positioned at the upper and lower insertion height positions by the guide rails 7.8, and does not shift downward.

Further, when the rear surface of the tape cassette 3 is pressed until it is substantially flush with the front surface 2a of the video tape recorder 2, the tape cassette 3 abuts against the contact portion 14d of the sliding member 14. The sliding member 14 is pressed by the tape cassette 3 and slides in the x1 direction of the arrow.

Note that the contact piece 37a of the motor switch 37 is connected to the rotating arm 1.
When it is not in contact with the protrusion 16d or 16e of No. 6, it is not displaced and is in a neutral state. The protrusion 16d of the rotating arm 16 is in contact with the contact piece 37a until the tape cassette 3 is inserted.

Next, as the sliding member 14 is displaced in the direction of arrow x1, the bottle 14C1 rotates the rotary arm 16 clockwise, and the protrusion 16d of the rotary arm 16 moves against the contact piece 37 of the motor switch 37.
The motor 21 is activated by operating the switch 37 at a distance from the position a.

In this way, when the switch 37 is opened, the drive 1j+motor 21 attached to the end of the bracket 9 rotates.
The rotational force of the motor 21 is applied to the pulley 22. The power is transmitted to the pulley 19 of the drive transmission mechanism 15 via the belt 23 .

The rotating arm 16 is a gear 19a of the drive transmission mechanism 15.

18b, 18a, 17b, 17a, etc., are rotated clockwise by the rotational driving force of the motor 21 which is decelerated, and the sliding member 14 is moved to the insertion completion position shown in FIG. The tape cassette 3 is held by a gripping member 14f (in FIG. 5) at its upper and lower surfaces and moves together with the sliding member 14 in the direction of arrow X1.

In this manner, when the tape cassette 3 is drawn into the holder 5 and reaches the insertion completion position, the lid lock release button 3a abuts against the contact portion 5d2 and is displaced to the lock release position. Further, the front plane of the tape cassette 3 faces the bent portion 5d+.

Roughly speaking, when the rotating arm 16 rotates clockwise, the pins 14C+ and 14C2 of the front moving member 14 move into the guide grooves 9a and 9b.
From the insertion portions 9a+, 9t)+ of the mounting portions 9az, 9b
Move along z.

As shown in FIG. 9, the tape cassette 3 inserted into the holder 5 is moved by the sliding member 1 that moves along the guide grooves 9a and 9b.
4 in the direction of arrow Y1 until it reaches the mounting position.

As the holder 5 moves from the insertion completion position shown in FIG. 8 to the mounting position shown in FIG.
is guided by the mounting portion 9az of the guide groove 9a and moves in the direction of arrow Y1. As the bin 5e moves, the levers 32a and 32b that fit into the bin 5e rotate in the direction opposite to the time S19 about the shafts 9f' and 9C, respectively. Furthermore, the lever 32
The levers 32c and 32d on the short side that engage with the levers 32c and 32b are respectively rotated from the 5 position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 4-6 to the position shown by the two-dot chain line.

Therefore, as the medium-heat bottle 5e on the long side of the holder 5 moves, the levers 32a to 32d move the bottles 5f and 5g in synchronization so that the bottles 5f and 5G on the tanto side maintain the same movement position as the bottle 5e. .

When the holder 5 moves, the lever 32a follows the displacement of the bottle 5e and turns 1+ clockwise. For this reason, lever 3
The hook portion 32a5 of 2a pulls the coil spring 34 whose one end is hooked to the pressing member 24. The pressing member 24 is biased by the spring 34 to bring the plate spring 24c into contact with the flat surface of the tape cassette 3.

As the rotating arm 16 is driven clockwise,
As the holder 5 moves in the direction of arrow Y1, the pressing member 2
4 rotates clockwise and points the plane of the tape cassette 3 in the direction of arrow Y.
Press in one direction. Further, the drive gear 17 is also rotating counterclockwise, and in response to the movement of the protruding pin 24a of the suppressing member 24, the cam 17d is displaced so as to meet the protruding pin 24a. Furthermore, the lock groove 17c is pivotally displaced in response to the locking pin 16f' of the rotary arm 16.

Therefore, the driving gear 17 drives the rotating arm 16, and the protruding pin 24a slides along the cam groove 176 to rotationally displace the suppressing member 24 clockwise. Once the holder 5 reaches the mounting position, the tape cassette 3 is pressed against the pressing member 2.
4, the predetermined mounting is suppressed and held without wobbling. Further, as the holder 5 moves, the lower edge of the lid 3b comes into contact with the lid opening member 29, and the lid 3b is opened.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the holder 5 reaches the mounting position, the bottle 1
4C2 contacts the end of the vertical portion 9b2 of the guide groove 9b, and the protrusion 16e of the rotating arm 16 contacts the contact piece 37a of the switch 37.
The motor 21 stops.

Further, when the holder 5 is lowered to the mounting position, the toothless portion 16b of the rotating arm 16 faces the large diameter gear 17b of the drive gear 17, so the rotating arm 16 stops rotating. When the rotating arm 16 stops, the switch 37 is already closed, but the motor 21 is still rotating.
The drive gear 17 rotates counterclockwise. Then, the locking pin 16r of the stopped rotating arm 16 is relatively fitted into the locking groove 17d of the rotating drive gear 17 and locked.

Will the locking bin 16f finally be locked? The drive gear 17 stops upon contacting the end of f617d.

Next, when an eject operation is performed, the motor 21 rotates in the reverse direction, and the device 1 performs an operation opposite to the above-mentioned loading operation to eject the tape cassette 3.
eject. Also, during ejection, the tape cassette 3 moves in the direction of arrow X2 while being positioned on the guide rail 7.8. Therefore, the tape cassette 3 is not displaced downward and is smoothly ejected from the insertion slot 2b.

Effects of the Invention As mentioned above, the tape storage case mounting device according to the present invention has the following advantages:
Since the tape cassette can be inserted vertically from the short side and inserted from the longitudinal direction, the width of the device can be made extremely small. Therefore, it can be installed in narrow storage spaces, making the most of limited space. Available for It also guides the insertion direction of the tape cassette and positions the insertion height to prevent the tape cassette from shifting downward. Therefore, when the tape cassette is inserted with the lid of the tape cassette as the bottom surface, the lid slides. The tape cassette has the following advantages: there is no risk of damage during insertion, the load upon insertion is small, and the tape cassette can be inserted smoothly.
